Lilly-isms

My child is a hoot, and really quite smart. She has mastered turning my lights on and off (which can be quite annoying in the middle of the HOT HOT summer to come into a room and find that the ceiling fan has been turned off or to come home one night and cant see the key hole at the front door because someone has turned off the lights), she LOVES to flush the toilet and Im not sure why but she always seems to find the flashy silvery handle when she is in the bathtub! The other day she found a paint sample on my bed and she turned it over to find the Home Depot logo and said "JEN", that didn't make daddy very happy, lol! Every night she does something to make me laugh, I love every minute of it. Chris and I were talking and mentioned that quite honestly she could be the only child we have. I then came to terms that I dont think that would be very fair for her in her later years of life, she needs a sibling for when we are old and dead... RIGHT? What else is this silly girl into? Her new favorite character is Elmo she points him out everywhere we go, and really enjoys finding him on her pampers. She is talking quite a bit, usually I can tell what she is saying but sometimes not so much. When I ask her to tell me agian she does, exactly the same way and most times I still dont know what she is saying. Im pretty sure she is going to be a great navigator, when we pull into my parents neighborhood she starts saying everyones names... Skies, papa, Jen, Gigi, Mimi (in no order of importants of coarse!) and when we pass by Ihop she says MMMMMMM, I wonder why? I can not begin to list all the things she is saying now but some of our favorites are belly button (bum-bum) and eye brow (eye- bum), she screams for yogart as soon as she sees those danimals in the fridge! Lilly is our little sweet, compassionate child, She loves to be rocked at night with her night night and bedtime prayers, we never say goodbye with out 'big hugs' and kisses. Kisses can be normal kisses, butterfly kisses and her favoirte eskimo kisses (or let me rub my nose in your face till you fell boogers!). None the less we love her SOOOOOOOOO much!

I have the best sister in the whole wide world!!!!!

Family pictures in July...... All I can say is HOTT! Luckily we ended up with some pretty cute pics! Obviously updating the blog on my iPad is not such a good idea... It posted 3 times and missed the picture of the Horton Clan... Ill update soon!

I'm testing this on my iPad

My Tuesday child

Its been a long time... I have about a year of making up to do. How about I just pick up at 18 months!

Lilly's baby book only goes up to a year and then gives you a silly little page for every year after that so Im going to have to use this blog to record all the funny things this child does.... get ready for an over load of Lilly-isms!

The animal sounds she knows well are doggie, cat, horse, cow, gorilla, sheep and alligator. She has recently started shaking her hear yes and no appropriately. She can recognize her eyes, noes, mouth, ears, hair, tounge, teeth, toes and belly button. My mom has recently taught her to bat her eyes (im telling you she is drama!). Her favorite game to play is the mean face stare game.

Our little Fishy

This little child is a swimming queen, she was much happier in the water splashing around than in this silly float! I'm sure she was thinking "this is for babies"! Ive seen Baby Aquatics swim leasons for infants from like 3 months and how they teach them to swim... I honestly think Lilly could handle it. We layed her on her back and she was so relaxed and floated and her legs kicked like a little fish! I think by the end of the summer Im going to have a tan little girl from all the swimming!

Blogging... or the lack there of!

Well after a HUGE catastrophe in the Dehmel house hold, I have decided to blog again and keep up with it as much as possible! Wednesday, I went to edit a few pictures and upload some to facebook, when I finished I went to transfer a few to my external hard drive... little did I know that a few seconds later I would loose 3 years of pictures :( I feel like Ive lost something so priceless. So lesson learned... back up ALL pictures from now on no matter what! So what that means to my Blog is that I will be uploading and updating a whole lot more.

My little monster is almost 7 months old and somehow I can not even believe time is going by this fast. But I enjoy seeing her learn so very much!!!!!
